Portmeirion
Portmeirion Potteries Ltd, a British ceramic manufacturer based In
Stoke-on-Trent, is a significant force in the pottery industry and an established
reputation for high quality and innovative design. Portmeirion manufactures an extensive
range of tableware, bakeware, kitchenware and giftware which are marketed with a wide
range of co-coordinating accessories in diverse materials.
Created by artist Susan Williams-Ellis,
Portmeirion Potteries has a long tradition of quality materials,
elegant designs, and extensive collections. Though Williams-Ellis
originally sold her wares only in Portmeirion Village in North
Wales, she began a wider distribution in 1960 after renovating a
rundown pottery factory with her husband, Euan Cooper-Willis. Until
this time, the artist had simply decorated preformed shapes of
dinnerware. With the purchase of the factory, she began designing
the shape and structure of the vessels as well.
The result is a collection of exceptionally
harmonious pieces, including tableware, bakeware, and cookware. Many
patterns also include coordinating candles and gift pieces. Within
Portmeirion, individual lines take their inspiration from seasonal
changes, birdlife, landscapes, and —most famously — botanical
gardens. In 1990, with outlets in over 30 countries, Portmeirion
received the Queen's Award for Exports. Though the company has an
extensive international following, its production and design is
still family-run and family-supervised.
